The Beatdown is a NoGi grappling tournament, held under the round robin format, looking to take the grappling scene to higher levels. The next event will take place on August 7th 2011 in Montreal. The tournament will take place at one of the most traditional martial arts gyms in the country, providing a spacious and authentic tournament atmosphere. Our round robin format allows all competitors to have a minimum of 4 matches to make for or the best grappling experience possible. Grapplers at the top of their groupings will then compete in a single elimination format to find out who is the best in the division. The tournament’s structure includes 2 experience divisions and 3 weight classes for men as well as a single division for women. The 2 winners from each men’s division will be eligible to fight in an absolute division. We believe, with fewer divisions and a round robin format, all of our competitors will be given the chance to truly compete. The Finals of each division as well as our Super Fights will be displayed to our crowd from a central mat so that the grapplers receive maximum exposure for their biggest fight of the day.
There will be no videotaping allowed at our events due to the circumstances that we will be recording the complete event to release to the public, free of charge, over the internet.
At the beginning of our event, to top off an already stellar card, we will be making an announcement that will shock the grappling scene in terms of sponsoring athletes to compete worldwide and promoting the most exciting Super Fights for our fan base. On August 7, we will also be having an 8 Man Invitational Tournament to showcase some of the best grapplers in the country. These grappler’s support and participation in our tournament is sure to add even more excitement for our fans.
We also work alongside charities to help build better communities. By organizing a raffle where an unlimited number of tickets can be bought for the cost of a can of food each, we hope to make a sizeable donation to those in need by the end of the day. There are multiple winners allowing for everyone to be enthused to partake in the raffle and do their part.
